Bengals thank Joe Mixon; Houston Texans' RB calls Cincinnati 'forever a place I call home'

The Cincinnati Bengals announced Wednesday that they've agreed to trade running back Joe Mixon to the Houston Texans.

Reactions have poured in since Monday, when the report of the trade followed the Bengals' reported signing of running back Zack Moss.

But Mixon and the Bengals waited until the day the team announced it, with Mixon thanking his teammates and Cincinnati, calling it "forever a place I call home."

The Bengals thanked Mixon for his seven seasons, telling him, "You'll always be a part of Who Dey Nation, Joe."
